General Provisions; Revised List of Migratory Birds

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to revise the 
List of Migratory Birds by both adding and removing species. Reasons 
for the changes to the list include adding species based on new 
taxonomy and new evidence of occurrence in the United States or U.S. 
territories, removing species no longer known to occur within the 
United States, and changing names to conform to accepted use. The net 
increase of 19 species (23 added and 4 removed) brings the total number 
of species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to 1,026. 
We regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, 
sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory 
birds. An accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA 
is essential for public notification and regulatory purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

What statutory authority does the service have for this rulemaking?

    We have statutory authority and responsibility for enforcing the 
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703-712), the Fish and 
Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the Fish and 
Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-j). The MBTA implements 
Conventions between the United States and four neighboring countries 
for the protection of migratory birds, as follows:
    (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain 
[on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 
1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628);
    (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the 
Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, 50 
Stat. 1311 (T.S. No. 912);
    (3) Japan: Convention between the Government of the United States 
of America and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory 
Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and Their Environment, March 
4, 1972, 25 U.S.T. 3329 (T.I.A.S. No. 7990); and
    (4) Russia: Convention between the United States of America and the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Concerning the Conservation of 
Migratory Birds and Their Environment (Russia), November 19, 1976, 29 
U.S.T. 4647 (T.I.A.S. No. 9073).

What is the purpose of this rulemaking?

    Our purpose is to inform the public of the species protected by the 
MBTA and its implementing regulations. These regulations are found in 
Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 10, 20, and 21. We 
regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, 
purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An 
accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is 
essential for regulatory purposes.

Why is this amendment of the list of migratory birds necessary?

    The amendment is needed to: (1) Add five species previously 
overlooked from a family protected under the MBTA; (2) correct the 
spelling of five species on the alphabetized list; (3) correct the 
spelling of two species on the taxonomic list; (4) add 11 species based 
on new distributional records documenting their natural occurrence in 
the United States since April 2007; (5) add one species from a family 
now protected under the MBTA as a result of taxonomic changes; (6) add 
six species newly recognized as a result of recent taxonomic changes; 
(7) remove four species not known to occur within the boundaries of the 
United States or its territories as a result of recent taxonomic 
changes; (8) change the common (English) names of nine species to 
conform with accepted use; and (9) change the scientific names of 36 
species to conform to accepted use.
    The List of Migratory Birds (50 CFR 10.13) was last revised on 
March 1, 2010 (75 FR 9282). These amendments were necessitated by three 
published supplements to the 7th (1998) edition of the American 
Ornithologists' Union's (AOU's) Check-list of North American Birds (AOU 
2008, AOU 2009, and AOU 2010).
    In addition, we propose to correct the legal authorities citations 
at 50 CFR 10.13(a).
    We also would make a small change to a definition in 50 CFR 21.3. 
We propose to update the definition of ``raptor'' to also include the 
order Accipitriformes to correspond to the proposed changes in the List 
of Migratory Birds.

What scientific authorities are used to amend the list of migratory 
birds?

    Although bird names (common and scientific) are relatively stable, 
staying current with standardized use is necessary to avoid confusion 
in communications. In making our determinations, we primarily relied on 
the American Ornithologists' Union's Check-list of North American Birds 
(AOU 1998), as amended (AOU 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 
2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010), on matters of taxonomy, nomenclature, and 
the sequence of species and other higher taxonomic categories (orders, 
families, subfamilies) for species that occur in North America. The AOU 
Checklist contains all bird species that have occurred in North America 
from the Arctic through Panama, including the West Indies and the 
Hawaiian Islands, and includes distributional information for each 
species, which specifies whether the species is known to occur in the 
United States. For the 39 species that occur outside the geographic 
area covered by the Check-list (28 that occur in the Pacific island 
territories and 11 listed in the Japanese and/or Russian conventions 
that have not occurred in the AOU area), we relied primarily on 
Clements (2007). Although we primarily rely on the above checklists, 
when informed taxonomic opinion is inconsistent or controversial, we 
evaluate available published and unpublished information and come to

[[Page 23429]]

our own conclusion regarding the validity of taxa.

What criteria are used to identify individual species protected by the 
MBTA?

    A species qualifies for protection under the MBTA by meeting one or 
more of the following four criteria:
    (1) It is covered by the Canadian Convention of 1916, as amended in 
1996, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs 
to a family or group of species named in the Canadian Convention, as 
amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape 
recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the 
United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such 
records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific 
authorities.
    (2) It is covered by the Mexican Convention of 1936, as amended in 
1972, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs 
to a family or group of species named in the Mexican Convention, as 
amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape 
recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the 
United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such 
records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific 
authorities.
    (3) It is listed in the annex to the Japanese Convention of 1972, 
as amended.
    (4) It is listed in the appendix to the Russian Convention of 1976.
    In accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act of 2004 
(MBTRA) (Pub. L. 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3071-72), we include all 
species native to the United States or its territories, which are those 
that occur as a result of natural biological or ecological processes 
(see 70 FR 12710, March 15, 2005). We do not include nonnative species 
whose occurrences in the United States are solely the result of 
intentional or unintentional human-assisted introduction(s).

How do the proposed changes affect the list of migratory birds?

    Several taxonomic changes were made at the Order and Family level 
by the AOU since publication of the last list. These changes affect the 
inclusion and taxonomic order of species on this list. Specifically, 
the Orders Phaethontiformes and Suliformes were split from the 
Pelecaniformes. Phaethontiformes now includes the Family Phaethontidae 
(tropicbirds); Suliformes now includes the Families Fregatidae 
(frigatebirds), Sulidae (boobys), Phalacrocoracidae (cormorants), and 
Anhingidae (anhingas). In addition, the Order Accipitriformes was split 
from the Falconiformes and now include the Families Cathartidae 
(vultures), Pandionidae (Osprey), and Accipitridae (hawks and eagles). 
At the Family level, the Ardeidae (herons and egrets) and 
Threskiornithidae (ibis and spoonbills) were moved from the 
Ciconiiformes to the Pelecaniformes Order, the Pandionidae (Osprey) 
were separated from the Accipitridae (hawks and eagles), and the 
Stercorariidae (jaegers and skuas) were separated from the Laridae 
(gulls, terns, and skimmers). The Polioptilidae (gnatcatchers), 
Phylloscopidae (Phylloscopus warblers), Acrocephalidae (Acrocephalus 
warblers), and Megaluridae (Locustella warblers) were separated from 
the Sylviidae, and the Calcariidae (longspurs and snow buntings) were 
separated from the Emberizidae (buntings and sparrows). The euphonias 
were put into their own Subfamily (Euphoniinae) and moved from the 
Thraupidae to the Fringillidae Family. All species within these newly 
created families continue to be protected under the MBTA. In addition, 
the Wrentit was moved from the Timaliidae (babblers) to the Sylviidae 
and is now in a family protected by the MBTA.
    The amendments (23 additions, 4 removals, and 51 name changes) 
affect a grand total of 78 species and result in a net addition of 19 
species to the List of Migratory Birds, increasing the species total 
from 1,007 to 1,026. Of the 23 species that we add to the list, 6 were 
previously covered under the MBTA as subspecies of listed species. 
These amendments can be logically arranged in the following 9 
categories:
    (1) Add five species from the family Muscicapidae, a family 
specifically listed in the 1996 protocol amending the 1916 convention 
with Canada. The omission of these species on the previous list was an 
oversight. All are considered accidental or casual in Alaska. The 
species and relevant AOU publication(s) are:
    Mugimaki Flycatcher, Ficedula mugimaki (AOU 1987, 1997, 1998);
    Taiga Flycatcher, Ficedula albicilla (AOU 1982, 1983, 1998, 2006);
    Dark-sided Flycatcher, Muscicapa sibirica (AOU 1982, 1983, 1998, 
2004);
    Asian Brown Flycatcher, Muscicapa dauurica (AOU 1987, 1989, 1998); 
and
    Spotted Flycatcher, Muscicapa striata (AOU 2004).
    (2) Correct the spelling of five scientific names on the 
alphabetized list:
    Nesofregata fuliginosa (Polynesian Storm-Petrel), becomes 
Nesofregetta fuliginosa;
    Thalleseus maximus (Royal Tern), becomes Thalasseus maximus;
    Thalleseus sandvicensis (Sandwich Tern), becomes Thalasseus 
sandvicensis;
    Phylloscopus siilatrix (Wood Warbler), becomes Phylloscopus 
sibilatrix; and
    Locustella lanceoloata (Lanceolated Warbler), becomes Locustella 
lanceolata.
    (3) Correct the spelling of two scientific names on the taxonomic 
list:
    Nesofregetta fuiginosa (Polynesian Storm-Petrel), becomes 
Nesofregetta fuliginosa; and
    Tiaris olivacea (Yellow-faced Grassquit), becomes Tiaris olivaceus.
    (4) Add 11 species based on review and acceptance by AOU (since 
April 2007) of new distributional records documenting their occurrence 
in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. These 
species belong to families covered by the Canadian and/or Mexican 
Conventions, and all are considered to be of accidental or casual 
occurrence. For each species, we list the State in which it has been 
recorded plus the relevant publication:
    Parkinson's Petrel, Procellaria parkinsoni--California (AOU 2008);
    Swinhoe's Storm-Petrel, Oceanodroma monorhis--North Carolina (AOU 
2010);
    Swallow-tailed Gull, Creagrus furcatus--California (AOU 2008);
    Brown Hawk-Owl, Ninox scutulata--Alaska (AOU 2009);
    White-crested Elaenia, Elaenia albiceps--Texas (AOU 2010);
    Crowned Slaty Flycatcher, Empidonomus aurantioatrocristatus--
Louisiana (AOU 2010);
    Sinaloa Wren, Thryothorus sinaloa--Arizona (AOU 2010);
    Pallas's Leaf-Warbler, Phylloscopus proregulus--Alaska (AOU 2008);
    Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus schoenobaenus--Alaska (AOU 2009);
    Rufous-tailed Robin, Luscinia sibilans--Alaska (AOU 2010); and
    Yellow-browed Bunting, Emberiza chrysophrys--Alaska (AOU 2009).
    (5) Add one species because of recent taxonomic changes 
transferring a species in a family formerly not protected by the MBTA 
(Timaliidae) into a family protected under the MBTA (Sylviidae). We 
reference the AOU publication supporting the change:
    Wrentit, Chamaea fasciata (AOU 2010).
    (6) Add six species because of recent taxonomic changes in which 
taxa formerly treated as subspecies have

[[Page 23430]]

been determined to be distinct species. Given that each of these 
species was formerly treated as subspecies of a listed species, these 
additions will not change the protective status of any of these taxa, 
only the names by which they are known. In each case, we reference the 
AOU publication supporting the change:
    Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Anas zonorhyncha--formerly considered a 
subspecies of Anas poecilorhyncha, Spot-billed Duck (AOU 2008);
    Black Scoter, Melanitta americana-- formerly treated as a 
subspecies of Melanitta nigra, Common [Black] Scoter (AOU 2009);
    Mexican Whip-poor-will, Caprimulgus arizonae-- formerly treated as 
a subspecies of Caprimulgus vociferus, Whip-poor-will (AOU 2010);
    Pacific Wren, Troglodytes pacificus-- formerly treated as a 
subspecies of Troglodytes troglodytes, Eurasian [Winter] Wren (AOU 
2010);
    Winter Wren, Troglodytes hiemalis-- formerly treated as a 
subspecies of Troglodytes troglodytes, Eurasian [Winter] Wren (AOU 
2010); and
    Puerto Rican Oriole, Icterus portoricensis-- formerly treated as a 
subspecies of Icterus dominicensis, Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] 
Oriole (AOU 2010).
    (7) Remove four species based on revised taxonomic treatments and 
distributional evidence confirming that their known geographic ranges 
lie entirely outside the political boundaries of the United States and 
its territories. In each case, we reference the AOU publication 
supporting these changes:
    Spot-billed Duck, Anas poecilorhyncha (AOU 2008);
    Common [Black] Scoter, Melanitta nigra (AOU 2009);
    Eurasian [Winter] Wren, Troglodytes troglodytes (AOU 2010); and
    Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] Oriole, Icterus dominicensis (AOU 
2010).
    (8) Revise the common (English) names of nine species to conform to 
the most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change 
the protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which 
they are known. In each case, we reference the published source for the 
name change:
    Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber, becomes American Flamingo 
(AOU 2008);
    Greater Shearwater, Puffinus gravis, becomes Great Shearwater (AOU 
2010);
    Whip-poor-will, Caprimulgus vociferus, becomes Eastern Whip-poor-
will (AOU 2010);
    Green Violet-ear, Colibri thalassinus, becomes Green Violetear (AOU 
2008);
    Blue Rock Thrush, Monticola solitarius, becomes Blue Rock-Thrush 
(Clements 2007);
    Clay-colored Robin, Turdus grayi, becomes Clay-colored Thrush (AOU 
2008);
    White-throated Robin, Turdus assimilis, becomes White-throated 
Thrush (AOU 2008);
    Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus nelsoni, becomes Nelson's 
Sparrow (AOU 2009); and
    Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus caudacutus, becomes 
Saltmarsh Sparrow (AOU 2009).
    (9) Revise the scientific names of 36 species to conform to the 
most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change the 
protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they 
are known. In each case, we reference the AOU publication documenting 
the name change:
    Larus philadelphia (Bonaparte's Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus 
philadelphia (AOU 2008);
    Larus cirrocephalus (Gray-hooded Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus 
cirrocephalus (AOU 2008);
    Larus ridibundus (Black-headed Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus 
ridibundus (AOU 2008);
    Larus minutus (Little Gull) becomes Hydrocoloeus minutus (AOU

    Larus atricilla (Laughing Gull) becomes Leucophaeus atricilla (AOU 
2008);
    Larus pipixcan (Frankin's Gull) becomes Leucophaeus pipixcan (AOU 
2008);

(AOU 2009);
    Poecile cincta (Gray-headed Chickadee) becomes Poecile cinctus (AOU 
2009);
    Calcarius mccownii (McCown's Longspur) becomes Rhynchophanes 
mccownii (AOU 2010);
    Vermivora pinus (Blue-winged Warbler) becomes Vermivora cyanoptera 
(AOU 2010);
    Vermivora peregrina (Tennessee Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis 
peregrina (AOU 2010);
    Vermivora celata (Orange-crowned Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis

    Vermivora ruficapilla (Nashville Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis 
ruficapilla (AOU 2010);
    Vermivora virginiae (Virginia's Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis 
virginiae (AOU 2010);
    Vermivora crissalis (Colima Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis crissalis

    Aimophila aestivalis (Bachman's Sparrow) becomes Peucaea aestivalis 
(AOU 2010);
    Aimophila quinquestriata (Five-striped Sparrow) becomes Amphispiza 
quinquestriata (AOU 2010);
    Carduelis flammea (Common Redpoll) becomes Acanthis flammea (AOU

How is the list of migratory birds organized?

    The species are listed in two formats to suit the needs of 
different segments of the public: alphabetically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(1) 
and taxonomically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(2). In the alphabetical listing, 
species are listed by common (English) group names, with the scientific 
name of each species following the English group name. This format, 
similar to that used in modern telephone directories, is most useful to 
members of the lay public. In the taxonomic listing, species are listed 
in phylogenetic sequence by scientific name, with the English name 
following the scientific name. To help clarify species relationships, 
we also list the higher-level taxonomic categories of Order, Family, 
and Subfamily. This format follows the sequence adopted by the AOU 
(1998, 2010) and is most useful to ornithologists and other scientists.

What species are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act?

    The MBTA does not apply to:
    (1) Nonnative species introduced into the United States or its 
territories by means of intentional or unintentional human assistance 
that belong to families or groups covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or 
Russian Conventions, in accordance with the MBTRA. See 70 FR 12710 
(March 15, 2005) for a partial list of nonnative, human-introduced bird 
species in this category. Note, though, that native species that are 
introduced into parts of the United States where they are not native 
are still protected under the MBTA regardless of where they occur in 
the United States or its territories.
    (2) Nonnative, human-introduced species that belong to families or 
groups not covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, 
including Tinamidae (tinamous), Cracidae (chachalacas), Megapodiidae 
(megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), Turnicidae 
(buttonquails), Odontophoridae (New World quail), Pteroclididae 
(sandgrouse), Psittacidae (parrots), Dicruridae (drongos), 
Rhamphastidae (toucans), Musophagidae (turacos), Bucerotidae 
(hornbills), Bucorvidae (ground-hornbills), Pycnonotidae (bulbuls), 
Pittidae (pittas), Irenidae (fairy-bluebirds), Timaliidae (babblers), 
Zosteropidae (white-eyes), Sturnidae (starlings; except as listed in 
the Japanese Convention), Passeridae (Old World sparrows), Ploceidae 
(weavers), Estrildidae (estrildid finches), and numerous other families 
not currently represented in the United States or its territories.
    (3) Native species that belong to families or groups represented in 
the United States, but which are not expressly mentioned by the 
Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, including the Megapodiidae 
(megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), 
Odontophoridae (New World quail), Burhinidae (thick-knees), Glareolidae 
(pratincoles), Psittacidae (parrots), Todidae (todies), Meliphagidae 
(honeyeaters), Monarchidae (monarch flycatchers [elepaios]), 
Zosteropidae (white-eyes), and Coerebidae (bananaquit). It should be 
noted that this rule supersedes the 70 FR 12710 notice to the extent 
that they are inconsistent. Specifically, the 1996 amendment to the 
Canadian Convention included the family Muscicapidae (Old World 
flycatchers). Thus, all members of the Muscicapidae family are now 
included on this list. In addition, the Wrentit is now considered a 
member of the Sylviidae family rather than the Timaliidae family and is 
now included on this list.
    Partial lists of the species included in categories 2 and 3 are 
available at  http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/RegulationsPolicies/mbta/MBTAProtectedNonprotected.html.

Public Comments

    We request comments or suggestions on this proposed rule from any 
interested parties. You may submit your comments and materials 
concerning this proposed rule by one of the methods listed in the 
ADDRESSES section. We will not consider comments sent by e-mail or fax 
or to an address not listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    If you submit a comment via http://www.regulations.gov, your entire 
comment--including any personal identifying information--will be posted 
on the Web site. If you submit a hardcopy comment that includes 
personal identifying information, you may request at the top of your 
document that we withhold this information from public review. However, 
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. We will post all 
hardcopy comments on http://www.regulations.gov.
    Comments and materials we receive, as well as supporting 
documentation we used in preparing this proposed rule, will be 
available for public inspection at http://www.regulations.gov, or by 
appointment, during normal business hours, at the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). You may obtain 
copies of our previous actions concerning this subject by mail (see FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) or by visiting the Federal eRulemaking 
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that this 
proposed rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866. OMB bases 
its determination upon the following four criteria:
    (a) Whether the rule will have an annual effect of $100 million or 
more on the economy or adversely affect an economic sector, 
productivity, jobs, the environment, or other units of the government.
    (b) Whether the rule will create inconsistencies with other Federal 
agencies' actions.
    (c) Whether the rule will materially affect entitlements, grants, 
user fees, loan programs, or the rights and obligations of their 
recipients.
    (d) Whether the rule raises novel legal or policy issues.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as 
amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA) of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121)), whenever an agency is required to 
publish a notice of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must 
prepare and make available for public comment a regulatory flexibility 
analysis that describes the effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., 
small businesses, small organizations, and small government 
jurisdictions). However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required 
if the head of an agency certifies the rule does not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    SBREFA amended the Regulatory Flexibility Act to require Federal 
agencies to provide the statement of the factual basis for certifying 
that a rule will not have a significant economic

[[Page 23433]]

impact on a substantial number of small entities. We have examined this 
proposed rule's potential effects on small entities as required by the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and have determined that this action would 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities, because we are simply updating the list of migratory bird 
species protected under the Conventions. Consequently, we certify that 
because this rule does not have a significant economic effect on a 
substantial number of small entities, a regulatory flexibility analysis 
is not required.
    This proposed rule is not a major rule under SBREFA (5 U.S.C. 
804(2)). It would not have a significant impact on a substantial number 
of small entities.
    a. This proposed rule would not have an annual effect on the 
economy of $100 million or more.
    b. This proposed rule would not cause a major increase in costs or 
prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local 
government agencies, or geographic regions.
    c. This proposed rule will not have significant adverse effects on 
competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the 
ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based 
enterprises.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 
et seq.), we have determined the following:
    a. This proposed rule would not ``significantly or uniquely'' 
affect small governments. A small government agency plan is not 
required. Actions under the proposed regulation would not affect small 
government activities in any significant way.
    b. This proposed rule would not produce a Federal mandate of $100 
million or greater in any year; i.e., it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
Takings
    In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the proposed rule would 
not have significant takings implications. This proposed rule does not 
contain a provision for taking of private property. Therefore, a 
takings implication assessment is not required.
Federalism
    This proposed rule would not have sufficient Federalism effects to 
warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under Executive Order 
13132. It would not interfere with the States' ability to manage 
themselves or their funds. No significant economic impacts are expected 
to result from the updating of the list of migratory bird species.
Civil Justice Reform
    In accordance with Executive Order 12988, the Office of the 
Solicitor has determined that the proposed rule would not unduly burden 
the judicial system and meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and 
3(b)(2) of the Order.
Paperwork Reduction Act
    We examined this proposed rule under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). There are no new information collection 
requirements associated with this proposed rule. We are not requiring 
any new permits, reports, or recordkeeping in this proposed rule.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
    Given that the revision of 50 CFR 10.13 is strictly administrative 
in nature and will have no or minor environmental effects, it is 
categorically excluded from further NEPA requirements (43 CFR 
46.210(h)).
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
    Seventy-five of the species on the proposed List of Migratory Birds 
are also designated as endangered or threatened in all or some portion 
of their U.S. range under provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-44; 50 CFR 17.11). No legal complications arise 
from the dual listing since the two lists are developed under separate 
authorities and for different purposes. Because the rule is strictly 
administrative in nature, it does not require ESA consultation.
Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes
    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951), Executive Order 13175, and 512 DM 2, we 
have evaluated potential effects on Federally-recognized Indian tribes 
and have determined that there are no potential effects. The revisions 
to existing regulations in this proposed rule are purely administrative 
in nature and would not interfere with the tribes' ability to manage 
themselves or their funds or to regulate migratory bird activities on 
tribal lands.
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (Executive Order 13211)
    On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211 
addressing regulations that significantly affect energy supply, 
distribution, and use. Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to 
prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. 
Because this proposed rule only affects the listing of protected 
species in the United States, it is not a significant regulatory action 
under Executive Order 12866, and does not significantly affect energy 
supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not a 
significant energy action and no Statement of Energy Effects is 
required.

    2. Revise Sec.  10.13 to read as follows:


Sec.  10.13  List of Migratory Birds.

    (a) Legal authority for this list. The legal authorities for this 
list are the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703-712), the 
Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the 
Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j). The MBTA 
implements Conventions between the United States and four neighboring 
countries for the protection of migratory birds, as follows:
    (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain 
[on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 
1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628), as amended;
    (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the 
Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, 50 
Stat. 1311 (T.S. No. 912), as amended;
    (3) Japan: Convention between the Government of the United States 
of America and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory 
Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and Their

[[Page 23434]]

Environment, March 4, 1972, 25 U.S.T. 3329 (T.I.A.S. No. 7990); and
    (4) Russia: Convention between the United States of America and the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Concerning the Conservation of 
Migratory Birds and Their Environment, November 19, 1976, 20 U.S.T. 
4647 (T.I.A.S. No. 9073).
    (b) Purpose of this list. The purpose is to inform the public of 
the species protected by regulations that enforce the terms of the 
MBTA. These regulations, found in parts 10, 20, and 21 of this chapter, 
cover most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, 
purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds.
    (c) What species are protected as migratory birds? Species 
protected as migratory birds are listed in two formats to suit the 
varying needs of the user: Alphabetically in paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section and taxonomically in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Taxonomy 
and nomenclature generally follow the 7th edition of the American 
Ornithologists' Union's Check-list of North American birds (1998, as 
amended through 2010). For species not treated by the AOU Check-list, 
we generally follow The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World 
(Clements 2007).
    (1) Alphabetical listing. Species are listed alphabetically by 
common (English) group names, with the scientific name of each species 
following the common name.
